mtlb_realmax

Description

Scilab equivalent for Matlab realmax is
number_properties but not all cases are implemented:

Scilab equivalent for Matlab realmax or
realmax('double') is number_properties("huge").

There is no Scilab equivalent for Matlab realmax('single')

The function mtlb_realmax(prec) is used by
mfile2sci to replace realmax(prec) when it was not
possible to know what was the input while porting Matlab code to Scilab. This function will
determine the correct semantic at run time. If you want to have a
more efficient code it is possible to replace mtlb_realmax calls:

If prec is equal to "double"mtlb_realmax(prec) may be replaced by number_properties("huge")
